Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Germany
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Germany currently reports 8.07 t CO2e/capita against 1.47 t CO2e/capita in Least developed countries, a difference of 6.6 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Germany's figure about 5.5 times Least developed countries's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Germany has been ahead every year.
Germany ranks 46th and Least developed countries ranks 46th of 203 countries.
Germany has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
Total annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
